Glenn Close is officially set to receive an Honorary Oscar. 🏆
Despite earning eight Academy Award nominations across her career, she has never won a competitive Oscar, making her one of the most nominated actors without a win.
Iranian-French filmmaker and graphic novelist Marjane Satrapi has sadly passed away at the age of 56.
Satrapi was best known for Persepolis and its acclaimed animated film adaptation, works that brought her international recognition and made her one of the most influential voices in contemporary graphic storytelling.
Her legacy spans literature, film, and advocacy for freedom, women’s rights, and human rights.
Rest in peace. 🖤
In Bengal's Rajarhat New Town, the BJP won because of a special round of counting held the next day without any TMC agents present.
@sighyush investigated what exactly was counted in that special round.
He found it was an 88% Muslim booth in an area called Musalman Para.
If the EC is to be believed, the BJP got an astonishing >94% of the Muslim votes in this booth -- which allowed them to win the seat.

In Rajarhat New Town seat, TMC MLA finished with more votes than anybody else when counting concluded on May 4, according to ECI data. https://t.co/upJqaoJmD0
The next day, the BJP had won the seat by a wafer-thin margin of 316 votes.
But how did this happen? @AnantGuptaAG finds out
@ImAbhishek_5 Maybe you should think about how people like him and that Uttam Kumar pfp guy got it completely wrong not because they misjudged the situation but because the election was stolen. This guy had been bang on about 2024 and 2021.
Remembering Katharine Hepburn on her birthday.
She still holds the record for the most acting Oscars ever won with four Academy Awards, and somehow never even attended the ceremony to accept them.
Mother’s Day reminder that the airport scene in Lady Bird (2017) is still devastating. Marion refusing to go inside, breaking down alone in the car, then turning back too late… Laurie Metcalf absolutely should’ve won the Oscar for that performance.
The opening of The Lady Vanishes (1938) is such a flex from Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock built an entire Alpine winter village using miniatures and painted backdrops just to pull off that opening crane shot in 1938.
